The New Insincerity
I think I might actually be more mad if I don't get my R-Rated X-23 movie set in Horrible Trump Dystopia Land than if Ridley Scott doesn't get to do his David movie. :mad:

Every species can smell its own extinction.
We need a climax to the David Trilogy. Or an endless David Saga.

Actually, have David kill Thanos and steal his knowledge at the end of Infinity Wars.

I always assumed the Mind Stone awakened Powers of the other Infinity Stones in them, Mind Stone reads to me like Stone for controlling the other ones effectively as well as it's own stuff. So like Scarlet Witch through Contact with the Mind Stone has powers based on the Reality Stone or whatever it was from Thor 2. Quicksilver got Time Stone powers.

It's going to be interesting to see how they deal with Magneto being a Holocaust survivor. Do they keep him super old or have him get de-aged somewhere along the way? (Or decide in the MCU his powers slow down his aging.)

Which way lets them keep Fassbender?

I've always felt that modern Magneto would be easy to adapt by changing his racial background and making him a survivor of some other genocide. Not hard to imagine an Armenian, Cambodian, or Rwandan version of Magneto.

Is there an Arab actor that could play Magneto?

Also I think the X-Men movies already suggest Magneto and the others age slowly. Lucas Till played a 40-something Havok in Apocalypse and that same year he's also playing a high school teen in Monster Trucks and a young McGuyver.

I like him and I thought he was good in Kingdom of Heaven and DS9. That he was supposed to play Sisko but they decided after he was too young and gave him Bashir makes me want to see screentests how that would have turned out.

They are not going to make Magneto, a mutant terrorist, into an arab man. That isn't going to go over well and will hurt the Disney brand. Magneto will be a white dude and if they keep his Holocaust background they will say that one of his secondary mutant abilities is that he ages slower or he was experimented on by the guvment or something.

Hey, are any of those BvS / art comparisons still around? My wife saw the Ultimate Cut for the first time last night and, after a double-feature of Blade Runner and BR2049 a few weeks ago, she's now all about composition in film. I told her that Snyder specifically drew inspiration from art in some of his setups but for the life of me I couldn't think of any.

Again: Rwanda, Cambodia, Bosnia just to name three genocides more recent than WW2 or the Armenian Genocide that could quite plausibly be used for an updated Magneto.

If you want to make Magneto into an Arab, make him a Kurd.

Just an FYI to those saying to modernise Magneto by making him a survivor of the Armenian genocide - it took place in the mid 1910s.

I mean let's be super honest here


They just haven't brought back J Jonah Jameson back. Like, they had the perfect actor for the role, they know they did, they know they cannot top it there is no surpassing what was there

So they aren't even trying to. The character is gone. He is retired. They did it perfect in one shot and they are never doing it again.

It was the most beautiful casting in any movie in the history of the world and they got it 100% right and now no one dares to try again.




Considering that I do consider it a good film, clearly there is one

i think it would be very funny to have hannibal burress doing JJJ with no explanation

Make him a survivor of the Balkan wars. Or just say that he has extended lifespan as a secondary mutant power.

Yeah, I got that mixed up with the Bosnian genocide. Rwanda and Cambodia were also more recent.

The Punisher on Netflix did pretty well updating his origins, making him a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq rather than Vietnam. Worked very well for that show, mainly using Afghanistan specifically for Frank's background.
